SO (not) CUTE!!!

Do not smile, this is not cute - Seriously - NOT AT ALL CUTE!!!
This is Miss Ayvri getting caught when she's supposed to be in bed (caught for the 40th time I think).
Oh she thinks she's SOOO darling. I must admit, the short pajamas and the big belly do have a natural appeal, but don't let that sway your resolve to not smile, remember this is NOT cute!!!
Being herded back to her room she gives what appears to be the "I'll be back" grin . . . This is the look I get when I say, "Shut your eyes!!!" (no I'm not a control freak) . . . stay with me, this is NOT cute!And finally, "Now go to sleep - I mean it!!!"
Ok . . . so she IS in fact adorable, but trust me, when the whole house is quiet and everyone is asleep and we hear giggling or yelling and then kicking on her door at 3:00 a.m. it is most profoundly far from cute, and even less cuter still when it happens again at 3:30. Someone please explain to me how this child functions on the amount of sleep she's getting.

And then - you can scroll back up and smile . . . .

I did :)

It's so funny that I opened your blog to see this because I was getting on to do a very similar entry about my son. They just don't get it, they should sleep when we say! At least I think they should.

Oh I don't like that stage, really I don't! I have been there done that with the girls and Ayvri is SOOO Much like Matalee it looks like...she'd keep coming out and coming out all night...yup, she lived on 3-4 hours sleep there for a couple a'years! It was a nightmare (no pun intended) getting that girl to sleep! I am dreading the day Jaxtin figures out how to get out of his bed! Ugh. Good luck on that one! heehee
